The Huion company is really making big steps forward in the world of "graphic tablets". We have been trying for a few days the new model with passive pen (ndr. At last !) H640P. The first thing you notice is a very smart and small packing (img 01).

We were used to the large boxes of other brands case. Once opened the box, inside we find the 6.3x3.9-inch tablet, the 2-finger microfiber glove, the pen with 8192 pressure levels the pen and the pen container with 8 spare tips and of course the USB cable from type A to Micro-USB connection. It’s a very interesting solution which makes H640P a very easy object to carry with your notebook. We still find the multilingual manual including the Italian language, while for drivers and software it’s needed to connect to the Huion site and download them from the download section (img 02). Here is the link http://www.huion.com/download/type-1/?Keyword=h640p

We installed it with the Win 10 operating system and, as soon as we connected the cable to the USB we immediately noticed the pen pointer appear on the monitor. Of course we have downloaded the appropriate driver / software which once installed allows a complete customization of the 6 buttons on the tablet, (img 03), the pen calibration (img 04) and the work area (img 05). We can also save various profiles for different use of software and users. Double click function is missing.

Turning now to the test of the product the tablet is made with good plastic materials, pleasant to touch and above all very light. Having almost no edge over the work area is a little difficult to work in the lower left corner, because the hand rests entirely on the desk. On the left edge there is a very small button to lock the keys: once pressed it prevents blocks any function (img 06).

The pen has a comfortable rubber grip, pleasant to the touch and with a bulge at the bottom of the handle to prevent the fingers from slipping. The two buttons of the pen are wired with the surface, easy to find and click nicely. We noticed, however, that it is a bit unstable when we insert it in the appropriate pen holder and in our opinion Huion should improve this aspect.

TESTS The test with Adobe Photoshop was comfortable and smoothly. The drawing experience despite our lack of freehand skills was extraordinary. The smooth surface is very pleasant to try during the design. The control of the pen stroke is very good, we have only noticed a small loss of sensitivity if you hold the pen very reclined but we believe it is all a matter of habit.

Here's what we managed to do in just under half an hour, that is, we tried to reproduce the drawing on the box (img 08).

The second test was done with the famous Zbrush digital sculpture software and here was no problem when starting the software. Here too, the control of the various brushes was good in the sensitivity/perception (img 09).

The strengths of this device are, in our opinion, the immediate possibility of use with all tested/ tried software, the optimal size for easy portability but above all the price. 50 $ is really an affordable expense for those who want to start and for those who want a second device to take on vacation or work out of the studio. Keep in mind that the equivalent product, but of a very famous brand, costs at least double.
